   The analysis of IFT-5 will probably call for modifications to Starship   
   for IFT-6. It is hard to tell how much time those modifications will   
   take. SpaceX seems to have made modifications after IFT-4 quite fast, so   
   we know they can do it fast. But it's still hard to know how long it   
   will take to do modifications without knowing what those modifications   
   are. Nonetheless, I think December or January is a plausible timeline.
